Like Home

I wanted you to know that it’s been so
Long since I wrote another poem.
I realize this is because for the first time
At the end of the day, it feels like home.

I wanted you to know that I’ve never before
Felt so close & have truly known
A man who so unhesitantly
Accepts and loves everything I’ve shown.

I wanted you to know that I’ve never
Faced so many daily trials with another.
You’re the only one I’ve known
Who could help keep me all together.

I wanted you to know that until now I had
Never come this far and felt so much
With a man I know inside and out
From your spirit, to your voice, to your touch.

I want you to know I see us making it all the way through
This life together until death do us part
Because at the end of the day-- every day--
You’ll be the man I love with my whole heart.

I wanted you to know that it’s been so
Long since I had to stop and write a poem.
Because for the first time in my life
I’m with a man with whom I know I’m home.
